Carcinoma cuniculatum is a rare variant of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. To date, there are less than 30 cases of esophageal carcinoma cuniculatum reported. It is frequently a diagnostic challenge: A definitive diagnosis typically cannot be made before esophagectomy. We present a uniquely aggressive case of esophageal carcinoma cuniculatum complicated by a bronchoesophageal fistula and successfully palliated with dual esophageal and endobronchial stenting.
漏斗状癌是高分化鳞状细胞癌的一种罕见变体。迄今为止,报道的食管漏斗状癌病例不足30例。它常常是一个诊断难题:通常在食管切除术前无法做出明确诊断。我们报告了一例独特的侵袭性食管漏斗状癌病例,该病例并发支气管食管瘘,并通过食管和支气管内双重支架置入成功缓解症状。
